- Try Edmund Scientific (phone number for technical information
- 609-573-6879 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM weekdays Eastern time). They
- have a kit for $39.95 that tests for lead in paint, soil,
- dinnerwear, imported toys, etc. I haven't used it, but I've
- found Edmund to be a good supplier in the past. Other companies
- probably also have the same kit, but this is the only one I know
- of. Ask for a catalog while you're at it.
